Trophic role and predatory interactions between the blue crab, Callinectes sapidus, and native species in open waters of the Ebro Delta
(Elsevier, 2024-01-14)
The Ebro Delta has become a major blue crab (Callinectes sapidus) fishery area in the NW Mediterranean, but there is limited information on factors controlling the abundance of populations in open waters, ...
Fermentation of Plant-Based Feeds with Lactobacillus acidophilus Improves the Survival and Intestinal Health of Juvenile Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) Reared in a Biofloc System
(MDPI, 2024-01-21)
This study evaluated the effect of fermentation with Lactobacillus acidophilus on the biochemical and nutritional compositions of a plant-based diet and its effects on the productive performance and ...
Stoichiometry of growth under variable scenarios of nutrient limitation: Differential homeostasis of body composition among growth phenotypes of the Manila clam
(Elsevier, 2024-02-07)
Fast- and slow-growing phenotypes from two separate breeding families of the Manila clam (Ruditapes philippinarum) were alternatively fed two monoalgal diets with high and low N content (C:N ratios of ...
Dietary supplementation of a combination of formic acid and sodium formate in practical diets promotes gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) gut morphology and disease resistance
(Elsevier, 2024-01-29)
Optimizing growth and feed conversion ratios by improving gut function and health is critial to ensuring costeffective production in aquaculture, especially in the current context of low fishmeal and ...
Impact of the diet in the gut microbiota after an inter-species microbial transplantation in fish
(Nature Research, 2024-02-18)
Inter-species microbial transplantations offer the possibility of transferring species-specific microbes and their associated functionality. As a conceptual approach, an intestinal microbiota transplant ...
Comparative study of the gut microbial communities collected by scraping and swabbing in a fish model: a comprehensive guide to promote non-lethal procedures for gut microbial studies
(Frontiers, 2024-03-22)
In the present study, we propose the use of swabs in non-lethal sampling procedures to collect the mucosa-adhered gut microbiota from the posterior intestine of fish, and therefore, we compare the ...
Phytogenics enhance welfare and vaccine efficacy against Vibrio anguillarum in European seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax) juveniles
(Elsevier, 2024-02-24)
Disease prevention is pivotal in aquaculture, and while vaccines offer protective immunity, challenges such as
cost and low efficacy persist. The present study investigated the potential of plant-derived ...
An In-Depth Study on the Inhibition of Quorum Sensing by Bacillus velezensis D-18: Its Significant Impact on Vibrio Biofilm Formation in Aquaculture
(MDPI, 2024-04-29)
Amid growing concerns about antibiotic resistance, innovative strategies are imperative in
addressing bacterial infections in aquaculture. Quorum quenching (QQ), the enzymatic inhibition of
quorum ...
Growth performance of gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) fed a mixture of single cell ingredients for organic diets
(Elsevier, 2024-04-22)
The aim of this study was to investigate the growth performance of gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) fed with a mixture of a single cell ingredient (SCI) (bacterial protein, yeast protein and algae) ...
Can the genetic background modulate the effects of feed additives? Answers from gut microbiome and transcriptome interactions in farmed gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) fed with a mix of phytogenics, organic acids or probiotics
(Elsevier, 2024-03-05)
The synergies between selective breeding and feed additives remain under-explored in farmed fish, despite their
sustainability. Reference (REF) and selected gilthead sea bream for growth (GS) were fed ...
